The third US aircraft carrier, USS Stennis, is moving into place off
the Iranian Gulf coast to lead a 12-day naval exercise of 25 nations on
Sept 16-27, that will include a large-scale minesweeping
drill simulating the breaching of the Strait of Hormuz against Iranian
efforts to block oil passage through the strategic waterway. President
Barack Obama may see Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on the last day
of the exercise. He hopes to present him with proof of US readiness for
military action against Iran and demonstrate that an Israeli strike is
superfluous.

The Stennis will join two other aircraft carriers, the USS Enterprise
and USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, and their strike groups, which are
already on operational duty off the coast of Iran, ready for the drill
which kicks off in the strategic Strait of Hormuz on Sept. 16.

US officials say the Stennis will replace the Enterprise, but according to debkafile’s
military and Washington sources all three carriers will remain in place
opposite Iran in the Gulf region in the coming months. British and
French warships are completing their transfer to new stations off Iran
for the big exercise in which the Saudi and United Arab Emirates navies
will also take part.

In addition to practicing tactics for keeping the Strait of Hormuz
open, the exercise will simulate operations for destroying Iranian
naval, air and missile bases in the Persian Gulf area.

This war game has three additional objectives, reported here by debkafile’s military sources:
1. To forestall an Israeli offensive against Iran, President Barack
Obama wants to convince its leaders as well as Gulf rulers that the
US-Western military option for disrupting Iran’s race to a nuclear bomb
is deadly serious and ready to be exercised when the need arises –
although determining “when the need arises” is the nub of the US-Israel
dispute.
The exercise winds up Sept. 27, the day penciled in by the White House
for Netanyahu to arrive for talks with President Obama and enable him to
show his visitor that there is no need for Israel to act.

2. The exercise is intended to convey the same message to Iran, that
the US military option is real and genuine and will be exercised unless
it halts its nuclear weapons program. The awesome might the US-led
coalition is capable of wielding against the Islamic Republic in a
prospective war will be brought home to Iran’s military strategists, its
Revolutionary Guards, Navy, and Air Force commanders, across their
television screens, radar and spy satellites.

3. The drill will assemble massive strength on the spot in anticipation
of an Israeli decision after all to cut down the Iranian nuclear menace
on its own..

The Netanyahu government found further grounds for going it alone in
certain key amendments inimical to Israel introduced in the new
Democratic Party’s platform on the Middle East. It is due for
endorsement by the convention in Charlotte, Ca. Wednesday, ahead of
Obama’s confirmation as the party’s presidential nominee. Those
amendments are hardly designed to revive Israel's trust in the
president's Middle East policies.

The 2008 platform confirmed a “commitment which requires us to ensure
that Israel retains a qualitative edge in the Middle East for its
national security and its right to self-defense.” The 2012 platform is
amended to “[t]he administration has also worked to ensure Israel’s
qualitative military edge in the region,” with no commitment to doing so
in the future.

The Democratic platform has also dropped the Democrats’ affirmation of
Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, leaving its status open for a negotiated
peace with the Palestinians.

Also removed is the statement that Palestinian “refugees” should be
settled in a future Palestinian state, not in Israel.” The Obama White
House has given itself a free hand to follow the Palestinian position on
the refugee issue too like on Jerusalem (which he pointedly avoided
visiting during his presidency.)

The new platform omits language characterizing Hamas as a terrorist group
The Israeli cabinet held a wide-ranging debate Tuesday, Sept. 4, on
Iran after hearing briefings from the Military Intelligence, the Mossad,
the Shin Bet and the Foreign Ministry’s Research Department on current
Middle East crises, topped by Iran. No bulletins were issued from the
closed, classified proceedings.

Some of the participants described the information put before them as
“worrying though not frightening.” They implied that the IDF’s level of
preparations and alert has not been reduced, sharply refuting the
misinformation opponents of direct Israeli action against Iran have
circulated widely and planted in media headlines.
